looking for a medical malpractice/workmans comp. lawyer

Given your post, most likely you will need two separate lawyers to help you. You can check the Lawyers.com listing of worker's compensation lawyers in the Milwaukee area to find an attorney to help you. On the medical malpractice issue, I wrote a blog about the difficulty of pursuing medical malpractice cases in Wisconsin at our firm's web site. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also did an excellent essay about the difficulties in Wisconsin last year as well. Medical malpractice cases in Wisconsin is practically extinct in Wisconsin except in the most catastrophic cases. Read my blog or the newspaper article and you will learn why. If you feel you were definitely harmed by the care you received,  you should request a complete copy of all of your medical records. Once you have them, consult with a medical malpractice attorney (again, check the Lawyers.com guide for a lawyer in your area), who will sit down with you and review the records. They will consult with a medical expert to determine if you have a viable case. The statute of limitations is three years in Wisconsin from the date of the occurrence to pursue your case. If you fail to file a lawsuit within 3 years, your case would be forever barred.
